The SmartCharge plaform connects all the municipality’s chargers and gives them their own charging network. All chargers will be available to the public when not in use by the service cars in the community in SmartCharge App. The charging station owners can set price of the charging, ig free charging for the employees of the municipality and charging at a given rate to visitors. SmartCharge helps plan the charging by taking the different users’ needs into account.
